2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT: Features, Specs, and the Return of the Most Powerful Gas Pickup
The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT delivers 777 horsepower from a 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8, making it the most powerful production gas pickup ever built. That figure eclipses the next nearest competitor by 57 horsepower and marks a dramatic step up from the last-generation TRX. This page breaks down every TRX feature, trim detail, and real-world benefit, with current inventory available at ASA Auto Plaza.
The TRX Returns: What Makes This Moment Matter
The Ram 1500 TRX went on hiatus after 2024. When it came back for 2027, it came back with an SRT badge for the first time in Ram's history and a power output that resets the standard for the entire segment.
The 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 now produces 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque. Those numbers sit more than 10 percent higher than the previous generation's output, accomplished through updated engine management, a valvetrain borrowed from the Hellcat Redeye, a smaller supercharger pulley, and increased fuel pressure. The result is a 0-60 mph time of 3.5 seconds and a best-in-class top speed of 118 mph.
Ram is the only truck manufacturer to offer Hands-free Active Drive Assist (L2+) capability on a high-performance, off-road, gas pickup. The TRX SRT carries that distinction alongside the RHO.
How the TRX SRT Works: Powertrain and Engineering
The 6.2L supercharged HEMI V8 uses the same 4.09-inch bore as the 6.4L HEMI and the same 3.578-inch stroke as the 5.7L HEMI. A 2.4-liter twin-screw supercharger with integrated charge coolers generates 13 psi of boost and feeds a new dual-path induction system that draws cool outside air through both the side of the grille opening and a center-mounted hood scoop. That setup delivers a 13 percent improvement in airflow over the last TRX.
Power routes through a high-torque-capacity TorqueFlite 8HP95 eight-speed automatic transmission. The BorgWarner 48-13 full-time active transfer case provides full-time four-wheel drive with selectable 4WD Auto, 4WD High (locked), and 4WD Low (locked) modes, including a 2.64:1 low range for precise crawling.
The suspension is built around second-generation Bilstein Black Hawk e2 adaptive performance shocks, front and rear, with machined aluminum casings, aerodynamic cooling fins, and dual electronic proportional valves connected to nitrogen-charged remote reservoirs. Ram Active Terrain Dynamics manages traction, stability, and damping in real time, and even anticipates mid-air conditions to prepare the shocks for a composed landing.
Ground clearance sits at 11.8 inches. The TRX runs 35-inch tires on 18-inch Satin Black wheels that shroud the largest brake rotors in class. Front suspension travel reaches 13 inches and rear axle travel reaches 14 inches, courtesy of a Dana 60 rear axle with full floating axle shafts and an electronic locking differential.
TRX SRT Features Across the Cabin
The TRX SRT is fully equipped as standard. There are no base packages to piece together. Every TRX leaves the factory with the following:
Displays and Technology
- Standard 14.5-inch Uconnect 5 reconfigurable central touchscreen, the largest in class

- Configurable full-color Head-Up Display with a 10-inch field of view
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads (a segment first on this truck)
Audio
- 19-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system with a 900-watt amplifier and a 10-inch subwoofer, more speakers than any competitor in class
Driver Assistance
- Hands-free Active Drive Assist (L2+) as standard equipment
- Standard Launch Control, activated via a dedicated button on the right side of the steering column
- Standard surround-view 360-degree camera system
- Adaptive cruise control, Active Lane Management, Blind-spot Monitoring with trailer coverage, Drowsy Driver Detection, Evasive Steer Assist, Traffic Sign Recognition, and Intersection Collision Assist, all standard
Interior
- 12-way power front seats with memory, massage, heating, and ventilation
- Class-exclusive reclining rear seats with heating and ventilation
- Natura Plus leather seating surfaces with perforated suede inserts and red bolster accents

The TRX SRT also offers the Bloodshot Night Edition package, which adds a hand-painted Diamond Black Crystal Pearl Coat upper with a Flame Red center hood stripe, a unique bodyside splash graphic, beadlock-capable wheels in Satin Black with Satin Titanium rings, and carbon fiber with red anodized thread woven into the trim.
Real-World Benefit: What the TRX SRT Delivers Day to Day
For drivers in Jackson and the surrounding Minnesota region, the TRX SRT is built for conditions that demand real capability. The Ram Active Terrain Dynamics system continuously adjusts damping across Auto, Tow, Mud/Sand, Rock, Snow, Sport, Baja, Custom, and Valet modes, which is more drive modes than the next closest competitor. On snow-covered roads or flooded gravel paths, the full-time active four-wheel-drive system manages torque split automatically, so the driver focuses on direction, not the drivetrain.
On long highway stretches, Hands-free Active Drive Assist engages on approved roadways, centering the truck in the lane and maintaining a safe following distance without the driver's hands on the wheel. The 14.5-inch touchscreen with five-times-faster response speeds than the previous generation makes adjusting HVAC, navigation, and drive settings straightforward even in gloves.
At the worksite or trailhead, the standard spray-in bed liner, standard 33-gallon fuel tank, and available RamBox cargo management system, with its locking, draining, and LED-lit cargo storage, keep tools and gear accessible. Towing up to 8,100 lbs with the 6.2L supercharged HEMI keeps the TRX useful, not just exhilarating.
The standard dual exhaust with 5-inch black tips produces a sound signature that needs no introduction, and the animated LED walk-up lighting and Flame Red flow-through grille badge make an impression before the engine even starts.
How the TRX SRT Compares to Its Competition
The 2027 Ram 1500 TRX SRT holds best-in-class power and best-in-class top speed among production gas off-road pickups. At 777 horsepower and 680 lb-ft of torque, it leads the next closest competitor by 57 horsepower and 40 lb-ft of torque. segment horsepower and torque comparison data
No competitor offers Hands-free Active Drive Assist (L2+) on a high-performance, off-road, gas pickup. Ram holds that distinction alone, and the TRX SRT carries it as standard, not as an option.
On audio, the 19-speaker Harman Kardon system with 900 watts places more speakers in this body style than any competitor in class. On interior luxury, the full suede headliner, leather-wrapped airbag cover, massaging heated and ventilated front and rear seats, and class-exclusive dual wireless charging pads set a benchmark that no other performance off-road truck currently matches.
Ground clearance of 11.8 inches matches the RHO and exceeds the Rebel by 2 full inches, while the 6-inch wider body and 35-inch tires create a stance no direct competitor replicates.
